I am absolutely appalled by Ontario’s proposal to cull endangered species under the guise of streamlining development. This is not just short-sighted—it’s morally indefensible.

As a young person I have a firm belief that we NEED affordable housing, affordable public transit, and modern infrastructure. That said, my youth and my aspirations do not blind me to the threats that these particular changes pose to our environment, our economy, and to our democracy.

I oppose bill 5. I want stronger
